The RiseUp & Amplify programmes, at the heart and soul of Money20/20, aim to boost the voices of women, minorities, and underrepresented professionals in the financial services sector. These programmes are about breaking barriers, teaming up with the community to ignite real change, tearing down systemic bias, and ultimately giving fintech a fresh new face.
Not one, but two standout Threddsters were chosen to take part in each of these prestigious programmes. We hear from Daiana Bochicchio, Senior Marketing Manager on four lessons she'll be taking away from this amazing journey.
The three-day schedule was an intensive journey, delving into personal and professional development. The programme strongly emphasises fostering relationships and bonding with our mentors carefully and purposefully selected by the team at Money, who will be available for guidance throughout the upcoming year.
Pursue self-improvement relentlessly.
Build a solid foundation for your well-being that nurtures your body, mind, and spirit. Embrace lifestyle changes and cultivate routines that fill your life with joy, like maintaining a nutritious diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and ensuring you get plenty of restful sleep.
Stay loyal to your true self.
Harness your ambitions and confront your fears head-on. Recognise that vulnerability is a form of strength and that imposter syndrome is a common trait among high achievers.
Keep your feet on the ground and learn from everyone.
Surround yourself with bright minds and push your boundaries for personal growth. Value diversity and be an inspiration to others. Make a difference by appreciating diversity and inspiring others through your actions. Remember, the most exceptional leaders often recruit individuals with skills surpassing their own.
Dream big when it comes to your career development.
Don’t shy away from challenging roles - after all, what’s the worst that could happen? Recruiters often
focus on an individual’s potential and how well they fit into the team when hiring. Engage in meaningful conversations with your peers and consider seeking a mentor for guidance.
